New Gas Tank Record
I have a larger gas tank these days, of course, but let it get so low that I put 15.572 gallons in a 15.3 gallon tank. At $2.749 per gallon (DeltaSonic), that came to a record $42.81. Not complaining ... just an observation.
What the … ?
I reached in my "man purse" for my digital planner and found it in a horrible state. Faceplate totally smooth on surface, but cracked beneath, lid irrepairably ripped off, and display permanently broken to where it will only render a small edge of the screen. But why the h3ll was it covered in what smells and feels like COCONUT SUNTAN LOTION????!!!?!?!?!?
Shaking Hands with the Devil
Though I think the sentiment doesn't count when two devils shake each other's hands ... http://apnews.myway.com/article/20090805/D99SK8KO3.html Clinton secured the release of two journalists, and probably threw Gore in the mix to beef up his much-needed perception as pertinent, credible and sane. Or was it a partisan plug all the way? But the real question is, HOW MUCH KAZIKSTAN UNRAIUM DID HE GIVE KIM? And I'm...
Yes, I would live there, even in Russia.
I love this house (link) ... at least the outside. It would be like living in a Disney dream. So how could someone be such a sour puss in that one photo?

Ken Headhunts, Part Deux
I'm seriously looking for a sales guy/gal again. My last one just decided to play bartender the moment the business cards were dry. If only people knew and understood what I was really offering, they'd jump at the chance to be that person. Yes, my kingdom for the right sales person. I just want someone I can partner with. I want to be on a team. Sure, I'll write the checks and steer the corporate culture,...
I’d rather die in debt than turn my head and cough for Uncle Sam and die early.
From an actual person I know, not a chain email: The US already has two functional examples of single-payer health care provided by the government. As a US Army veteran, I have nearly 30 years of experience with the one most recognize - the VA. Yes, the same system that made news a few years ago because several hospitals in the Washington, DC, area were in such bad repair that they had patients in wards with rain...
The Nigerian Invasion
I have never gotten more "Nigerian Scam" emails in nearly any year as these last few days. Seriously, are there that many stupid people to make it worth their while? We need to make it a crime to fall for scams if we can't take out the criminals. And then apply it to spam -- if you buy something through an online ad you didn't subscribe to, YOU pay a fine. I used to think education was the answer. But people...
The Moon Landing gets a “George Lucas”?
http://uk.news.yahoo.com/22/20090716/tsc-uk-nasa-tapes-sb-a337f0f.html I wonder if there will be more spaceships. Maybe a few dewbacks? I just hope they don't have Hayden Christensen coming out from Armstrong's space suit when they get back to Earth.
